Indecision may cost CORD dearly

While the Jubilee Party is already set for the next general election with their presidential flag bearer as Uhuru Kenyatta, CORD is still undecided on who their presidential candidate will be.

The affiliate parties are still flying around the country like hawks in the guise of wooing support from their skeptics.

However, it is worth noting that time is running out fast and it might be too late for them to appreciate the sense of early presidential candidate endorsement.

There is much that needs to be done in this marriage right now, just before the 2017 General Election.

We do not need to be rocket scientists to know the discourse in the coalition currently.

Every party within the alliance is busy drumming up support for their candidate with serious ultimatums to the coalition's leader, Raila Odinga, to pass over the baton to someone else.

Any average mind would think this is a normal narrative; but there is more than meets the eye.

Nobody among the three co-principals is willing to step down for another to face Uhuru for the presidency.

Inter-party squabbles are almost at fever-pitch. All the three principals are optimistic about their chances of becoming the man to lock horns with the incumbent at the ballot.

In fact, some ODM proponents have begun to imagine further that they can win the race with just the party minus the coalition.

These are fresh wounds that must be dressed with the proper sense of dispatch they deserve, before they open further.

The bravado might not prove healthy in the long run simply because of the "coalition's deliberate fear" to endorse their presidential candidate.

This decisional laxity might not augur well with the wrath of time, at least given the length of the period before the election.
